Guild Wars 2

Ok, Perplexity Runes have been a bane of WvW fora while now. Even after the most recent nerf they are still the most powerful runes for a number of stun-heavy builds. Mostly Warriors and these god-awful perma-stealth Mesmers.

The kicker is, these Runes exist solely to troll people in WvW.

Confusion as a condition is nigh useless in PvE and the runes weren’t added to sPvP (thank god for that much foresight).

Did we really meed a Rune set that gave CC cleaver even more offensive pressure?

I like to think they added them to bring confusion back from the brink of obscurity after the 50% nerf those many moons ago.

They should have just unnerfed mesmers and left it at that. These runes make warriors, thieves, and engies better confusion spammers than Mesmer ever was. I’d rather they get rid of the runes from the game, remove them from everyone who has them, and unnerf mesmers. I hated fighting against mesmers in the past when they could spam confusion a lot, but I’d welcome that back with open arms if it meant being rid of these horrid runes.
